You got to read her book sidehatch. You will love it
Wow...so much better that I could imagine

she is like the punk rock Forest Gump!




So I of course did the audible version.
did think that she read it, but found out she only does the intro
but Rosanna Arquette, really knocked it out of the park with her delivery, really thought it was Chrissy

Chrissy would do these excellent descriptions of time and place and Arquette's delivery just made them come alive

Chrissy knows how to tell an engaging tale

this looks interesting...love the title!


I just finished this.  It's about what you'd expect. Sly is a drug-addled dick. I was surprised how much side-work he's done though.  REO Speedwagon???  Worth the read, mostly because it led me to listening beyond the Greatest Hits.

I just listened to the two part episode on sly 'the history of rock music in 500 songs' and it was fascinating
Sly did some amazing things in music and in general...then he tipped the scales the other way by doing a long list of horrible things (mostly to women, but not exclusively)
Really a visionary and waay before the whole twin-tone/the clash "we should all rock together" attitude towards racism

this book is in my queue
the podcast is defiantly worth it...even if it is 4 hours

also want to check out: Live at the Fillmore East October 4th & 5th, 1968

Just finished Rosanne Cash’s memoir Composed. Beautifully written.

I won’t touch the Sly Stone book with a ten foot pole.

The Bee Sting by Paul Murray

Some have described Murray as a more humorous Irish version of Jonathan Franzen

Can he also only write about middle-class Midwestern families too?

You know darn well I have no idea where scooter is and when I get book I will have no idea where that is either…

Actually my partner has read me the riot act about the state of the house….
